Rachel's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Rachel $4.20 per pound, and typ

e B coffee costs $5.50 per pound. This month's blend used four times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, for a total cost of $864.60. How many pounds of type A coffee were used?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call the use the variables A and B to represent the number of pounds used for those types of coffee and set up a system of equations below to solve.

4.20A+5.50B=864.60

B=4A

Let's replace B in the first equation with 4A.

4.20A+5.50(4A)=864.60

Undo the parentheses.

4.20A+22A=864.60

Combine like terms.

26.2A=864.6

Divide both sides by 26.2

A=33

Therefore 33 pounds of type A coffee were used in this month's blend at Rachel's Coffee Shop.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Write a function describing the relationship of the given variables.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The function is A = 10√r

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the meaning of direct variation

- The direct variation is a mathematical relationship between two

  variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one

  variable is equal to a constant times the other

- If Y is in direct variation with x (y ∝ x), then y = kx, where k is the

 constant of variation

* Now lets solve the problem

# A is varies directly with the square root of r

- Change the statement above to a mathematical relation

∴ A ∝ √r

- Chang the relation to a function by using a constant k

∴ A = k√r

- To find the value of the constant of variation k substitute A and r

 by the given values

∵ r = 16 when A = 40

∵ A = k√r

∴ 40 = k√16 ⇒ simplify the square root

∴ 40 = 4k ⇒ divide both sides by 4 to find the value of k

∴ 10 = k

- The value of the constant of variation is 10

∴ The function describing the relationship of A and r is A = 10√r
